2. The NSA has been wiretapping anyone supposedly related to any terrorist activities. This is because of the 9/11 attacks and the madness that ensued after that. The Patriot Act has given the NSA the power to do almost whatever they want. The ACLU is calling the NSA on this and is attempting to get the Patriot Act ruled unconstitutional and to stop the NSA from such constant spying.
3. The 4th amendment stops the government from unreasonable search and seizure. Despite the threat of terrorism, this does not allow the government to spy on anyone they damn well please. Also, katz v. US establishes that a phone call is just as private as a conversation meaning that it is protected by the 4th amendment.
4. 1. Protecting from terrorism is reason enough to ignore the 4th amendment.
2. Many drastic measure must be taken to protect from the threat of terrorism.
